My Problem

Rear camera on iPhone 5 was stuck at fixed focal length. Wouldn't focus and would often crash when using the camera app to take photos and would not work at all on video.

My Fix

Probably took 45 minutes to get through it...the first time. After putting it all back together, I had light leakage from the top of the screen. I didn't get the screen assembly cables fully seated and it was putting pressure on the screen. So had to take it apart and repeat the first couple of steps and once all back together, it works great.

My Advice

Use tweezers if the flash enclosure is stuck to the case; the new camera already came with the enclosure. Look at the old rear camera and how the cable bends when attached and put back into the phone; other wise it may not fit smoothly. Be sure to check for dust between the camera lens and case (i had a few specks of dust, cured with a Qtip and some canned air)

The flash enclosure you want to make sure you line up that it seats correctly. Mine wanted to move until I put the plate in place the holds the camera and flash in place.

Make sure cables are reseated properly or your screen may show weird colors and you have to take it apart again.

Happy picture taking!

My Problem

I had ordered another 3rd party screen to fix my iPhone but the touch on it started to do things I didn't want it to do like scroll the other way. My battery was also bad and needed to be replaced.

My Fix

replacing was fine. Had a little pink spot. The spot went away but I noticed something odd with siri (Hey siri was not working). after talking with support about auto brightness not showing up they recommended replacing my camera cable with the old one. Now hey siri some how works and the pink spot went away. Overall I am very happy with the part.

At some point Ill replace my volume and power cable but thats for another fun time as I do not like those flex cables.

My Advice

Always test the screen etc before fully putting it on.
